Long-term follow-up after successful multi-stage intravascular repair of acute aortic dissection associated with cocaine exposure

Key Points

• To evaluate the long-term outcomes following successful multi-stage intravascular repair of acute aortic dissection, particularly in relation to cocaine use.
• Conducted long-term follow-up on patients after multi-stage intravascular repair for acute aortic dissection.
• Evaluated outcomes related to cocaine exposure and its implications for recovery and prognosis.
• Successful intravascular repair resulted in improved survival rates over the long term for patients.
• Patients with a history of cocaine exposure exhibited higher risk factors affecting recovery.
